Contact center leaders and vendors argued that “containment” should be abandoned as AI value shifts from deflecting calls to managing full customer journeys with better human handoffs. 98% of companies deploy AI somewhere along the customer journey, but only 15% combine agentic AI with cross-departmental orchestration. The focus changes to outcome-based resolution metrics, enterprise governance and openness, and internal orchestration work to scale pilots successfully.

The US and China began talks on an AI safety governance framework, but Trump–Xi cooperation is uncertain amid escalating rivalry. Scott Bessent said the sides discussed a new AI safety notification mechanism ahead of the Thursday and Friday meeting. If China agrees, the countries could share alerts on unpredictable or threatening AI behavior, but current export controls, chip curbs, and recent US accusations could block a reliable system.

MSCI CEO said climate-related physical risk is being undervalued by financial markets despite rising extreme-weather impacts. From 2020 to 2024, the world saw 99 extreme-heat events versus 14 in the 1980s, and MSCI reported that only 27% of over 25,000 firms (2023–2025) provided substantial disclosure on physical climate risk. The CEO argues markets should improve transparency and use location-based tools, including AI, so physical risk is priced more accurately.

Trump administration officials have publicly attacked Effective Altruism as an ideology they link to AI-risk alarmism and efforts to push for AI regulation. A Politico poll found 63% of Americans believe AI poses at least a moderate risk of destroying humanity. The backlash appears to be increasing anti–AI doomer sentiment and could either discredit Effective Altruism or give it a bigger public platform.

Gallup and Microsoft found that Americans are among the few surveyed where negative emotions about AI outweigh positive ones. The study polled people in 37 countries, with a median of 81% aware of AI but only 43% using it daily. The results suggest adoption and trust track together in some places, while the US largely doesn’t follow the global pattern and shows widespread worry alongside optimism.

China pushed back against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s proposal to slow global development of the most powerful AI models, saying it would undermine global AI governance and preserve U.S. dominance. Amodei’s blog post came earlier this month and China responded within a day. The dispute escalates into competing definitions of AI safety and pacing, with new Chinese policy guidance and public pushback from Chinese engineers rather than acceptance of Amodei’s terms.

Greece’s prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told roughly 250 tech founders, investors, and operators in San Francisco that he does not have answers to many AI questions leaders are debating. He said Greece’s 10-year bond yield is about 4.3% compared with around 5% for U.S. Treasuries. The visit reframes Greece’s push for investment around hosting AI policy discussions while pairing AI adoption plans—like a supercomputer and education pilots—with concerns about child social-media access, school use, and job displacement.

The US criticised Australia’s proposed digital duty of care laws that would let users opt out of social media algorithms, arguing they would amount to censorship of protected speech. The embassy submission warned tech firms could face fines for not offering the algorithm opt-out option.

AI finance took center stage: the IMF warns that the build-out’s most immediate market risk isn’t model capability, it’s leverage. In a review of 14 publicly disclosed deals since 2023, the fund found hyperscalers backing AI with about $650 billion in debt against roughly $300 billion in equity, while committing to spend $1.4 trillion going forward. The prescription is blunt—limit sector leverage and liquidity risk through sector-specific capital requirements and constraints on bank lending concentration—because when funding rests on borrowed money, sentiment swings turn into funding crunches.
